You implied that the NA didn’t come with a 1.8 and that the NB was exclusively a 1.8, just to clarify, in 1995 the NA was gifted the BP-ZE 1.8 engine. So between 1995-1998 the NA came with both a 1.6 and a 1.8 option. Then in 1998 the NB was available with a 1.6 B6ZE just like the NA, but it also came with a more powerful BP-4W 1.8 in Europe and other parts of the world and then a slightly more powerful BP-5A in japan. In 2001 the NB was given the even more powerful BP-Z3 1.8 which featured variable valve timing and a much higher compression ratio. In 2005 with the launch of the NC, sadly the B series engine was confined to the history books and the MZR14 1.8 and 2.0 engines were launched.
Just to be clear for those who are more interested in details than the average person.
Shout out to real car guys and Mx5 enthusiasts.
Got to go cut some hair, bye.

How did you manage to drive a red and a ceramic ND at the same time? ;)

[@ceirwan]

You literally managed to talk for 2 and a half minutes without giving any of your own feedback on the cars, any sort of sporty driving despite being on track & any real advice. You also got the facts about the cars wrong. Good job.

Thanks for your feedback!

@@Drivecomau Well I thought it was honest feedback at least. Would have been nice to get some insight from the driver that's all.
